Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 3 tablespoons Coconut milk (canned, full fat)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the cucumbers very thinly to create even rounds.
Step 2
Place the cucumber slices into a large bowl and sprinkle with the sea salt. Toss gently to distribute the salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes. This will help draw out excess moisture and enhance the flavor.
Step 3
In the meantime, mince the garlic clove finely and chop the fresh dill. Set them aside.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, drain any excess liquid from the cucumbers but do not rinse off the salt.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, combine the white vinegar, coconut milk, minced garlic, and freshly chopped dill. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Pour the vinegar and coconut milk mixture over the cucumbers. Toss until all cucumber slices are coated evenly.
Step 7
Season the salad with black pepper and additional salt to taste if necessary.
Step 8
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Serve cold as a refreshing side dish compatible with Whole30 guidelines.
